Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday called on Muslims nations to expend all their efforts to help resolve “the Palestinian issue” he called the most significant issue of the Islamic world.

Addressing the closing ceremony of the Sixth International Conference in Support of the Palestinian Intifada (Uprising) in Tehran, Rouhani said the Palestinian issue has “pricked the international community’s conscience for 70 years” and revealed the “ineffectiveness of international organizations”.

He described the Palestinian Intifada as “the manifestation of resistance” against the Israeli occupation.

“The Palestinian Intifada is a kind of resistance for survival… It is the only remaining noble choice for a nation,” Rouhani stressed.

The president further warned about Israel’s “fear-mongering” against Palestinian resistance among Muslim and Arab nations.
